This mesmerizing 3.1 carat cat’s eye tourmaline exhibits an electric Paraiba-like blue hue with vivid chatoyancy dancing across the surface. Sourced from Laghman Province, Afghanistan, this gem is a true rarity—non-copper-bearing tourmalines that display this saturated, tropical lagoon color are exceptionally hard to come by, especially with a strong, well-defined eye.
The silky, linear inclusions create a luminous cat’s eye effect that pairs elegantly with the exotic coloration, making this cabochon not only a collector’s gem but also a phenomenal centerpiece for bespoke jewelry.
A rare convergence of color and optical phenomena—natural, untreated, and one-of-a-kind.
